There is contention on whether parents of delinquent juveniles should be held accountable for the actions of their children and be punished for it. I disagree on this matter. Instead of transferring the blame to them when kids behave poorly, I believe that at a very young age, they already have the freedom and the ability to make decisions of their own. With that being said, they should learn to be made accountable for their choices and actions, so that they will grow up having the burden of responsibility and know that there are certain consequences towards unwanted acts.
